"A Little Bird Told Me" Daily Truth emails are sent with love from Brave Girls Club founders Melody Ross and Kathy Wilkins. Here's what they have to say about it:

This is a crazy world that forces confusing lies upon us every day -- lies about what is most important, who we are, who we can become, what we can accomplish, our value, our potential, our worth, what makes our lives meaningful, how & where we can find true happiness, and on and on.

So we've decided to wage our own little war against those lies by sending our brave friends a daily truth. Think of it as a little bird delivering your truth -- and imagine that this truth-teller is someone who loves you and understands you completely.

Our daily emails are a free gift that are sent most weekdays, Monday through Friday, with all our love and wishes for everything joyful and brave and true.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING...

Dear Brave Girls,

Almost EVERY time I am dealing with something, you come along like a supportive friend, and speak to the exact thing that I am dealing with. And, some of these thoughts/issues/concerns are so deeply rooted that only God or a gooooooood girlfriend would even know that they exist. My “A Little Bird Told Me” time is at the end of the day, right before I go to bed... It motivates me to believe I can... to believe I truly am brave!!! What better thoughts to close your eyes on. Thank you...

A Fellow Brave Girl

Thank you for these words. I can't even tell you how much I needed to read them at this very moment. I'm in the midst of a few of the most unexpectedly difficult days I have encountered. I know it's just some of life's hurdles, but your words truly touched me tonight. I thought I would let you know!

Dear Kathy and Melody,

My friend Jennifer and I both get your emails and look forward to them so much. Some days, if I get them first, I text her and say either "BGC is for you today" or "OMG BGC is ME today"...and she does the same if she reads them first. Today it is for me. Yes, I'm sure those words could apply to just about anyone, but gosh and golly, those words are for me. Thank you for all the hard work you two and all of your minions must be doing to create this beautiful Brave Girls Club. YOU are so loved.

A Little Bird Told Me is the only email I read and look forward to every day. I can't tell you how very much it has helped me to trudge to some bad stuff. I can't thank you enough for speaking truth into my life and always seeming to say what I need to hear at the perfect time! Xoxo

Ok honestly, when first I joined the mailing list, I was not really sure what it was all about. What I saw glimpses of spoke to me, but I really wasn't sure. In the beginning I sort of read the emails with email blinders. I.e. just quickly get to the next one clean out my inbox. You know, on autopilot... But in the last month and a half I have been reading religiously, taking it all in and realizing they are about me. My insecurities, shortcomings and-- more so each day-- my strength, power, and ability to take the bad and find good in it. I realize it's not just me in my head, and no matter what I don't have to be alone. I am grateful that you send the emails and I am excited to find out more and take in more. It's baby steps for now, but it's more than it was a few months ago and in a year it will be more than it is now. Thank You so much for all you do.

Dear Melody & Kathy,

Bravo to both of you for creating such a worthy and impactful “cause.” I just wanted to let you know that you are positively impacting people around the world with your timely, insightful words of strength and love. Wishing you all the best in your heroes travels!

I love these emails, always. This one has to be my favorite yet. As I read it, I could almost yell out "YES!" If I had not been sitting in Starbucks, I would have done just that. Bless your insight and strong message that so many of us will read today! It was exactly perfect for me today. Thank you so very much insightful brave girl!

Cindy C.

Wow, I don't have time to read every one of these I get... but the ones that I do open are the ones that I need at that time, that very minute, hour, and day. Thanks for all you do and please continue to fight the good fight and spread love and hope to those who need it. YOU are loved...very much as well!

Love,

I just wanted to thank you for your beautiful messages. I look forward to this email every morning, and today's in particular made me smile and feel so hopeful. Know that your words impact so many of us! Thank you for the love and encouragement and magic you inspire.

Much love,

Kate

I just wanted to thank you for everything that you do! In my first semester of college, I found out that I have bipolar disorder and the news was shocking and scary. I had to go to different hospitals and see numerous doctors to find the right medication, treatment, and help. While I was in a mental and behavioral hospital, a good family friend of mine showed me a few articles from the Brave Girls Club and got me interested. The little memos and pictures have truly kept me going when times have been tough either getting back into school or fighting my depression. Thank you for making those small impacts in my life that have made my days a little easier!

Are you wondering what a Daily Truth might be like?
Here are some examples:

Dear Hopeful Girl,

Sometimes winter can last so long, or be so cold and dark and difficult that it seems like it will last forever. This is not just for the actual season of winter... but for the winters of our lives. You know… the times when things were very good and then it seemed as though...

Sometimes winter can last so long, or be so cold and dark and difficult that it seems like it will last forever. This is not just for the actual season of winter….but for the winters of our lives. You know….the times when things were very good and then it seemed as though they died.

Winter is a peculiar time, however….because there is so much going on that can not be seen. There is SO MUCH happening that is restorative and beautiful and lovely and important. So much happens in winter that is such a good example to all of us…and example of how we could live our lives by following the gift that is winter… (just as every season of the year, and every season of life is full of its own gifts) .

It is a time of rest for the plants and the animals…..and maybe just maybe, it is supposed to be a time of rest for us. It is a time when everything is restored and renewed and built back up to get ready for the hard work of spring…the renewal, the rebirth, the new life.

What if we took it all into our own souls and had a time like this….a time that we give ourselves full permission to have? A time where we are simply restoring, resting, renewing and getting strong for what is to come?

Because no matter how hard the winter is….spring is going to come. No matter how dead the world may look…it is going to come back to life….as green and beautiful as ever. The sun is going to shine and everything is going to grow again….as soon as it is time.

Living in the hope of all of that is a happy place to be, and enjoying the seasons as they come is a happy place to be…..please live in that beautiful hope.

You are so very loved.

xoxo

Dear Seeking Girl,

If ever you doubt that you are important or that you are loved -- or that you matter -- or that you are known -- or that there is a plan for you -- please dear girl, look around for beautiful evidence of all of it all and you will be sure to find it. Sometimes we forget what the sky looks like, or how flowers come every single Spring, no matter what. Sometimes we forget that the sun goes down at night and then comes right back up to give us a brand new day, every single day. Sometimes we...

If ever you doubt that you are important or that you are loved -- or that you matter -- or that you are known -- or that there is a plan for you -- please dear girl, look around for beautiful evidence of all of it all and you will be sure to find it.

Sometimes we forget what the sky looks like, or how flowers come every single Spring, no matter what. Sometimes we forget that the sun goes down at night and then comes right back up to give us a brand new day, every single day. Sometimes we forget that there are people around us that we might not even know who wish us the best just because we are alive. Sometimes we forget that there is air to breathe, and plenty of it, and that we get to breathe in as much of it as we want, whenever we want to. Sometimes we forget to watch how the trees sway back and forth in the breeze as if they are saying hello every time we walk by. Sometimes we forget all of the incredible color that is all around us, in every form imaginable.

Sometimes we forget that ALL of the beauty, truth and light is there for us...every single day...just for us.

In a world that is constantly trying to make us forget that everything we need to be happy is almost always right in front of our face. Please, dear friend, be one of thebrave ones who notice the love that has gone into every creation around us, the love that goes into every detail of your life, and the love that returns every day if we just stop and take notice.

It feels good to be loved, doesn't it?

You really truly and absolutely are so very very very loved, every day.

xoxo

Dear Beloved Girl,

Our thoughts hold SO MUCH POWER and we are the only ones who are completely responsible for what we allow ourselves to focus on or think about or believe. No matter how much another person may tell us wonderful things about ourselves, it will never make a difference if we do not allow ourselves to receive it and believe it. Everything starts with our own thoughts.

Everything starts with our own thoughts.

When we allow ourselves to think that we are less than others, or that we are insignificant or unimportant….that is how we behave in all areas of our life. We then begin to accept behavior from others that is consistent with those beliefs…our whole life is shaped around those thoughts.

When we behave as if we are beloved (because we are)…our whole life is shaped around that belief. We only accept behavior that is consistent with being beloved. We dream dreams that are consistent with being beloved…and most importantly….we treat ourselves as if we are beloved.

YOU are beloved. We all are. Please believe it and please shape your life around that truth, dear friend. Life will meet you at that place oftruth….and everything will change from there.

You are SO very loved.

Dear Tired Girl,

The things that mean the most to us usually require a lot of sacrifice from us, and day after day after day of taking good care of them. Sometimes, important things take a really long time to blossom into what we want to see them blossom into. If things are difficult somewhere in your life, beautiful friend... take heart. Important things take time. Meaningful things don’t always come easy. Learning to do...

The things that mean the most to us usually require a lot of sacrifice from us, and day after day after day of taking good care of them. Sometimes, important things take a really long time to blossom into what we want to see them blossom into.

If things are difficult somewhere in your life, beautiful friend...take heart. Important things take time. Meaningful things don’t always come easy. Learning to do new things sometimes has a huge learning curve that makes us want to quit halfway through.

Please remember why you started when you feel like quitting, ok? Sometimes that “why” will be the very thing that will get us through. And remember, lovely soul, that you are in good company because everyone who is putting the important stuff first has days that feel really difficult. It is worth it. It is ALWAYS worth it to sacrifice for the things that are most important. It just is.

There will come a day when you see that one of your proudest achievements is the way you have stuck through the important things...the sacred things...the things that matter most. Important things take time, and that time is well spent.
